ReplyDeleteThank you, Marianna. Such a sweet little dress.
ReplyDeleteHi marianna would you be doing this dress in a smaller size as i just love this pattern.thanks 😁😁
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Marianna for your excellent patterns. I really like the way they are laid out and easy on your eyes. Some patterns give me eye strain because they are too small and squashed up.
ReplyDeleteHi Marianna will you be doing this pattern in different sizes? I love it.
ReplyDeleteLove this pattern so easy to knit
ReplyDeleteI am new to knitting and have recently been following your preemie range to knit clothes for my granddaughters dolls. For a learner your patterns are easy to follow. Will you be doing this pattern in an xs preemie size.
